I recently read Blogging and Tweeting without Getting Sued by Mark Pearson. It’s available as a Kindle book or a paperbook. (It may also be available in other ebook formats too, but I haven’t checked).
When trying to decide whether or not to buy it, I worried that it might be dry or unnerving, but decided that it didn’t matter. As a blogger, I should read it anyway.
In fact I enjoyed it, and made a lot of highlights for my personal reference. (Incidentally, I decided a long time ago that I would only allow people to see highlights I made on older books such as Dickens. I’m just being cautious!)
It looks at international issues, which is something that affects all online communications anyway. It doesn’t pretend to cover all of the dangers, but I learned things I didn’t know… as a very new and uncertain Facebooker, it was mostly Facebook issues I didn’t know about. But there are issues everywhere, really. Better to be aware of them than not.

My strategy is to remain so poor that it would be pointless to sue me. So far, the plan is working.

That’s what the book refers to as ‘a man of straw’.

I wonder what all those dangers are? I know there are a lot, but it does make me wonder what I’m missing…I may have to read that book…
Nice to see you again, btw!

And you.
I’m procrastinating madly, here. Painting grass instead of doing more important things.
